You should have the ISO and the install.img file (from the images/
folder) stored on the source HDD like this:
sdaX --- some_folder/ ---- Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso
|
+-- images/
|
+-- install.img
Then you point to to sdaX (whatever X is for the partition you stored
the images on), and folder "some_folder". In other words, the ISO
file should be sitting next to an "images" folder which contains the
"install.img" file.
